While we know that not everyone may be eligible to vote, your voice still matters. Share the issues that are important to you with your friends and family members. Or, better yet, make your voice heard to your local state or federal representative (senator or congressperson). Everyone can engage in critical dialogue about candidates, legislation, and statewide propositions. Every voice is needed in our community!
